LOST BY COLLISION. The ship T.. F. SAWYER
which was sunk in collision recently was built in
Bath, by Goss, Sawyer and Packard, in 1882 She
has been engaged in the Pacific and European
wheat trade. She has now gone to the bottom,
near London, run into by an English steamer. She
was loaded with cargo of wheat from San Fran
cisco bound to London and commanded by Capt.
+. Is. Dinsmore. The cargo was valued at $l2, 900.
The ship originally cost $l2000O. The question OF
which vessel was to blame is to be decided in
